Author: Guest A great reference for those late nights with scrabble, or to put those fellow teachers in their place that can not spell their way out of a paperbag.
Author: Guest Being a university student, a dictionary that is compact enough to fit in a backpack amongst many textbooks is a must. This, the latest edition of the M-W Dictionary, fits that requirement. The text is easy to read and there is even a nifty reference section at the back containing "foreign words & phrases, biographical names, and geographical names".
I rate it at 3 stars because although the cover boasts "Over 75,000 definitions", words such as ontological and multivalent are not included.
I highly recommend this dictionary for students at the high school level, but university students should keep searching.
